World Cup Hotels – South Africa
With less than a year left until the 2010 FIFA World Cup kicks off, there is no doubt that it is going to be one of the highlights of the year. For exactly one month, starting June 11th and ending July 11th, South Africa will play host to 32 national soccer teams, 3 million visiting fans and 64 world class matches. All of this will take place within the borders of South Africa, at 10 stadiums in 9 of the country’s largest cities.
The city of Johannesburg has 2 soccer stadiums worthy of the 2010 World Cup, while the cities of Cape Town, Durban, Bloemfontein, Nelspruit, Polokwane, Port Elizabeth, Pretoria and Rustenburg all have a stadium of their own being used.
This massive and truly exciting undertaking has brought South African’s together in a way never seen before in this growing nation. 15 000 volunteers are needed to help make sure the World Cup runs smoothly and it is no surprise that nearly 50 000 people have already signed up to help, with more joining every day.
